Pros

The atmosphere at Best Buy HQ was awesome. My direct managers were very respectful, helpful, and willing to listen to suggestions for improvements. Best Buy likes to include its employees as to what is going on (at least in my department) in terms of strategies and changes in policies.

Cons

A downside of Best Buy was some of the management. While they were respectful, and great people, I'm not sure why some of their positions even existed. For example I had a manager that basically used a spreadsheet template and reported our SLA 1-2 times per day. That's pretty much all she did. Best Buy also promotes working remotely, which isn't necessarily bad, but seeing managers in the office for only 3-4 hours per day and online for maybe 1-2 hours at most makes me wonder why they're being paid salary for a 40 hour week.

If you start out on registers up front it can be difficult to learn on the floor and find a department especially if you are not selling enough credit cards and memberships

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
